Install the guide sleeve (A), which is part of

the special tool set (DAF no. 1329496), on

the axle journal.

Attach the wheel hub unit (5) securely to a

movable lifting device.

9.

Slide the wheel hub unit (5) from the axle

journal using the lifting device.

Take care that the wheel hub unit (5) does

not rest on the guide bush (A) as the latter is

not strong enough to take the weight of the

wheel hub unit (5).

10. Remove the O-ring (6) from the wheel hub

unit (5).

Installing the wheel hub
1.

Check the axle journal thread carefully for

damage.

You must never fit a wheel hub on an

axle journal with a damaged thread.

2.

Fit the O-ring (6) into the wheel hub unit (5).

3.

Apply a thin and even layer of the prescribed

lubricant to the axle journal, see "Technical

data".

Note:

Do not overlubricate the axle journal. While

fitting the wheel hub unit, the excess grease

will collect at the backside of the wheel hub.

When the vehicle is used in daily operation,

this anti-corrosion agent can leak out so that

it looks as if the oil seal leaks.
